Johnson and Dilfer are the only real game managers who won that you cited there, and they won more than 15 years ago with all-time great defenses behind them.

9ers fan. I come in peace.
Garoppolo is obviously not on Mahomes's level (I think he's the best player in the league), but he's better than the Trent Dilfer/Brad Johnson types by a significant margin.
He had lightwork in the NFC playoffs, but that hasn't been the story all year.
His starts are closer to Pro Bowler than liability:
3,978 yards
27 TD
13 INT
8.4 Y/A

If the Chiefs stack the box, Jimmy G can and will throw.
But sometimes he tries to thread the needle when he shouldn't, which is why I think the Chiefs have the edge overall.
I'm expecting a great game.
